Perhaps something is annoying you, something so routine you're not even thinking much about it?
Take a mental stroll through your week. Is there something that recurrs regularly and which you already dislike in advance? I agree you shouldn't wallow, but if something is draining away your energy, it's a good idea to deal with it instead of sucking it up and keep going.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

It can happen to anybody. A couple of years ago, I got a really awesome student teacher assigned. After a couple of weeks of increasing responsibility, she was doing great, a born teacher. I sat up in the teacher workroom for weeks feeling more and more useless (and more and more depressed as a result), while she taught "my" students (who quickly became "hers.") The only cure was when she graduated and I got my classroom back, with all the attendant stress and chaos. But it's my mission in life, literally what I live for. I think men especially have our self-esteem all tied up in our careers and work life.
I was just told the other day that I'm getting another student teacher in the spring. Sigh....Geezer and crouton976 like this.

I've definitely been doing this... When nothing else sticks out like a sore thumb, the only option left is to examine the subtle things you might not be noticing.

I hope this doesn't sound silly but I think that you are bored. What interests you?
This last weekend i found a mushroom type that I haven't eaten in a while. It made a good supper! Then some wild grapes that my grandson loved. I juiced the grapes but haven't figured out what to do with the juice yet.
Maybe my point is....
Include yourself and your family, probably forget about your job. have variety. Go to a museum or listen to a new band? Change things up. Include your wife and family and/or do what interests them..
Variety is the spice of life.
